A request to update or change a provider’s Tax ID should only be made if:
- A typo was made when adding the provider initially.
- If the Tax ID initially used is incorrect and all claims are being rejected.
- If the Tax ID has been legally changed.
If any of the above scenarios are not met, this request should not be made. Instead, a new provider record should be added with a different Tax ID. A one-time charge for a Tax ID Add-on may apply, unless the change request meets one of the following requirements:
- Claims were never submitted with the Tax ID (prior to the change).
- Claims were submitted but rejected due to an invalid Tax ID and can be found/seen within CollaborateMD.
- The provider is currently transitioning from SSN to EIN, or vice versa.
